Malware currently attacking windows/linux

Just got this notice. It's been around since Thursday. I had one blip today where my browser just froze and I had to reboot. I'm not sure if this is on topic but it poses a good question as to how secure our systems are during testing. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-...java-software/

I neither have the java plugin installed no do I have 'java' enabled in my browser. Two different things? There was this program 'S' like a snake .. I ferget ... it was a javascript protector .. it was in the security discussions.

Oh w3ll.. looks like not too many are concerned about security threats to linux. Maybe that's a good thing.
